Revoke Medical Decision-Making Authority: Be Well Prepared When It Matters Most
Medical decision-making authority forms part of parental custody and concerns decisions relating to a child’s healthcare. As a general rule, parents with custody must make important medical decisions together. These include, for example, surgical procedures, psychotherapeutic treatment, certain vaccination decisions, and long-term therapies.
If serious disagreements arise between the parents, the family court may, in individual cases, consider transferring decision-making authority for medical matters to only one parent.
However, a complete or partial withdrawal of medical decision-making authority is only possible under specific legal conditions.
Many parents are unsure about their rights and how courts assess these situations. Common questions include: Who can consent to treatment? What happens if the parents disagree? When does the family court intervene?
